Screenings Inside Tin Pan Theater
The Tin Pan is now open with some new safety procedures in place. While we have several titles available for viewing inside the Tin Pan, here is a new one that just opened July 3 and it is a must-see! Using interviews and rare archival footage, JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE chronicles Lewis’ 60-plus years of social activism and legislative action on civil rights, voting rights, gun control, health-care reform and immigration. The film explores his childhood experiences, his inspiring family and his fateful meeting with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1957.

Take 4 Iranian Film Series With Ellen Shelton
Ellen Shelton’s Take 4 series continues with a film that Manhola Dargis at The New York Times called a “Critic’s Pick! Elegant… immersive, pleasurably intelligent.” Ellen’s introduction to the film provides insight that will enrich your viewing experience including some fascinating background on the director who is no longer in good favor with the Iranian government because of his films.
About 3 FACES: Actress Behnaz Jafari is distraught when she comes across a young girl’s video plea for help after her family prevents her from taking up her studies at the Tehran drama conservatory. Behnaz abandons her shoot and turns to filmmaker Jafar Panahi to help with the young girl’s troubles.
They travel by car to the rural Northwest, where they have encounters with the charming and generous folk of the girl’s mountain village. But Behnaz and Jafar also discover that old traditions die hard.
The film was winner of Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival. Official Selection at the Toronto International Film Festival.
